Stator Replacement Tutorial

[uechi kid]

I’m having charging issues.  Pretty sure there is an problem with the stator or regulator/rectifier.  Before I order parts I’d like to get a good understanding of what I need to do to do this repair.  Can someone point me in the direction of a good how to tutorial?

Thanks

Rich

Here is a quick overview of mine on Youtube of checking the stator to be sure that is what is wrong. If you find your stator is shot and its time for a new one you will need the new stator, a stator cover gasket, a forward bevel gear cover gasket and the little copper squish washer that goes under the screw that drains the forward bevel gear area at oil change (those gaskets/washer are part numbers 2, 14 and 21 here: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/2006/royal-star-midnight-venture-xvz13tfmv/crankcase-cover-1 ) . I am not sure on your Model/Year of the Venture but on the MK1's you really want to know where each screw came from on removal because if you get the wrong length of screw into the wrong hole when you replace them its very easy to push the longer screw into the case and break through the inside of the case and cause oil to leak from around the screw.  It looks like you are working on a Gen 2? If so it might be note worthy to replace the regulator at the same time as the stator as I have heard that the Regulators on the Gen 2's are actually the weaker of the two. I replace my regulators with the Stator's on the MK1's when I have a stator fail anyway just cause its always proven a good, cheap way to increase the probabilities of no charging issues while ripping across the deserts. Here is that vid I was talking about. Hope it helps even though its not with the Gen 2. It still should be applicable,, at least I hope so.. Puc

The procedure should be nearly identical, with the exception of removing plastics.

And partial removal of the left side exhaust to get at the lower bolts holding the stator cover in place.
